I have not appointed any special advisors in my role as Minister for Defence. Similarly no special advisors were appointed by my predecessor, Mr. Alan Shatter, T.D.
However, former Minister Alan Shatter, T.D. engaged the services of a personal assistant who assisted him in constituency matters. A severance payment of €10,958.47, which was in accordance with Department of Public Expenditure & Reform guidelines, was paid to the individual in 2014.
